Releasable coupling device with separation protection

Abstract

Abstract A plug part (1) and a socket part (2) form the end pieces of one cable (3, 4) each. Arranged in the plug part (1) and in the socket part (2) are contact elements (6, 7) which connect the conductors of the cables (3, 4) to one another. The plug part (1) or the socket part (2) has a flexible cladding (8) with a cavity (9) which serves to accommodate the other coupling part. This cladding (8) forms the separation protection by holding the plug and socket parts (1, 2) together when in the coupled state and protecting them against inadvertent separation. The cladding (8) can be elastically expanded transversely to the coupling axis (5) and thereby permits the separation and joining of the coupling parts (1, 2). <IMAGE>
